Why did you choose this level(s) of thinking?
- This lesson is part of a bigger lesson, which will start at the remember stage and move up. I will
be taking care of the apply and analyze stages that go before the create stage.
Assessment Plan- How will you Describe your assessment plan:
know students have mastered - Students will need to collect evidence from two sources and organize it. They will be given a

their opinion on a sticky note for the writing process.
Is your assessment formative or summative? Why did you make that assessment decision?
- These assessments are formative assessments because they monitor student’s organization. The
summative assessment would be the actual writing that comes later.

What expectations will you have for the students? How and when will you communicate those to
students?
- I expect the students to stay at a level 0 (quiet) during the task overview, review, and modeling,
unless I ask them to speak, answer a question, or ask a question. During the organization of
evidence, they will work individually for the first 5 minutes. Then then I will walk around the
room to help them with anything they need. The students will be given the rubric for the
assignment to make sure they know what they are doing at all times. For the writing opinion,
they will need to write it on a sticky note and put their name on it for me to collect.
What strategies will you use if students do not meet your expectations? Are there specific
students who require a more extensive management plan? What will that consist of?
- If students are being too noisy, I will use the clapping technique to bring their attention back to
me. If there are more behavioral issues, they will lose table points.

- We have 3 students in one group who go to the gifted program and then return for the lesson.
These will be the students who will be asked to start their writing plan if they finish early. They
will have a specific rubric for their work as well.

Modeling:
- I will then be modeling the act of organizing evidence for writing, so I will use the teacher’s boa
that signals the spotlight is on me. I will also remind students to put their eyes on me as I model. I
expect the students to stay at a level 0 (quiet) during the modeling, unless I ask them to speak,
answer a question, or ask a question.
- I will use the articles: “The Colonial Blacksmith” and “The Tailor”
- Steps:
o Review the writing prompt: “Write an essay in which you give your opinion about which
trade worker had the greatest impact on the colonial market economy.”
o Script: “I will be modeling how to select evidence for our writing prompt from two
articles. After I model, you will use the Apothecary and Cooper articles to find evidence
for the prompt.”
o Model: Use “The Colonial Blacksmith” to find evidence for the prompt. Then use “The
Tailor” to find evidence for the prompt. Highlight the evidence.
o Graphic organizer: go back to each article and summarize the evidence.
o Choose opinion for writing: “I have few notes about the tailor and more about the
blacksmith. Because I wrote the things that impacted the colonial market economy for
each trade worker, this means that the blacksmith had a bigger impact than the tailor.
Independent Work:
- After the modeling, I will instruct them to use the articles that they were introduced to during the
week to organize evidence from each article. I will specify that they need evidence for each trade
worker’s impact on the colonial market economy.
- During the organization of evidence, they will work individually for the first 5 minutes. The
students will be given the rubric for the assignment to make sure they know what they are
supposed to be doing.
Monitoring:
- As the students work, I will walk around the room and monitor their work. Then then I will walk
around the room to help them with anything they need.

Grading:
- When they finish, I will go around the room to grade their work.
- Then, students will choose which trade worker had more of an impact on the colonial market
economy and write that on a sticky note with their names for me to collect.
Management:
- If students are being too noisy, I will use the clapping technique to bring their attention back to
me.
o “Reminders are commonly verbal but can also be visual (flicking the lights to signal that
it’s time to be quiet), auditory (ringing a small bell to let students know they should pay
attention to the teacher), or physical (using a hand signal to let students know to get back
in their seats)” (Tereda, 2019).
- If there are more behavioral issues, they will lose table points.
- If students complete the task quickly, then they can start writing.
- Check-ins:
o I have learned that many students get overwhelmed during their work, so I want to add
emotional check-ups during the lesson to make sure students get the assistance they
need. I will be passing out sticky notes for students to document their emotions. I will
check the status at the beginning of class, during the independent work, and after class.
Face meanings.
Smile: I’m doing great, I feel great, I understand what I must do.
Meh: I’m doing ok, but I have some questions or feel unsure about something.
Sad: I don’t feel good, I’m confused, I need help/support.
o “Strategies for establishing, maintaining, and restoring relationships—such as regular
check-ins, and focusing on solutions instead of problems—can reduce disruptions by up
to 75 percent” (Tereda, 2019).
